Soprano Herdís Anna Jónasdóttir, flautist Darina Ablogina, and guitarist Peter Croton perform works from the early Romantic period, some originally composed for, and others arranged for, flute and guitar. This instrumental combination was popular in its time as it was well suited to performance in private homes and in the salons of the social elite.
The performers have undertaken research into this repertoire and have brought to light the contributions of three women composers to music history: Maria Szymanowska (1789-1831), Emilia Giuliani-Guglielmi (1813-1850), and Catharina Josepha Pratten (1824-895).
The programme also includes works by Ferdinando Carulli (1770–1841), Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806–1856), Mauro Giuliani (1781–1829), and Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847).
Peter Croton will perform on a period instrument: a Romantic guitar made by the luthier René Lacôte in Paris in 1822.
Duration approx. one hour, without interval.
